I’m afraid I was too early with mine - they popped up and then keeled over.
i shall sow some more tomorrow, Scarlet.

I didn't do any gardening today - very cold wind. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

Do you remember you sent me a tree peony? I still have that in a large pot...considering planting it out in the garden this year but don't want to loose it!

I shall resow my violet linaria today and also some orange calendula. I did both of these too soon, and they got spindly and then bit the dust.(15-02-2022, 10:41 PM)Farendwoman Wrote:I hope mine live -I really wanted these and was going to buy some!(15-02-2022, 11:41 AM)BScarlet Wrote: Fews Linaria seeds have germinatedGoodo

Have you grown china asters before? Never considered them for some reason - don’t know why. Celosia were lovely for me last year and I’ve saved seed for this year.
Yes I remember the peony, hope it transplants ok.

Ladies, FEW and Scarlet, do these flower seeds need continued bottom heat after germination and pricking out at this time of year?

I do have a heat mat in the greenhouse - so somethings are on that but mostly I just cover over with lids if it's forecast very cold. I take out of the prop the minute I see germination.

Tough stuff like antirrhinums, calendula, cornflowers go straight to a cold greenhouse as soon as they have germinated. My big problem with sowing early is that the windowsill ones can get stretched and spindly. If I’ve got a good lot of saved seed,I still think it’s worth a try with sowing early though. I can never wait to get started with it!(16-02-2022, 10:18 AM)JJB Wrote: Ladies, FEW and Scarlet, do these flower seeds need continued bottom heat after germination and pricking out at this time of year?Everything I've sown so far are "hardy annuals".
